Iowa Family Investment Program (TANF)

The Family Investment Program (FIP) is Iowa's Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. FIP provides cash assistance to needy families, as they become self-supporting so children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives. PROMISE JOBS provides employment and training services for FIP participants.
